"I wouldn't play any slot machine or video poker machine on a cruise ship as they can be programmed to pay out at the lowest possible rates offered by the manufacturer."

I hit a progressive royal flush for $1838.00 on a 25 cent jacks or better video poker machine on the first night of the Chippers Cruise last October. Admittedly, 6/5 payout was lousy odds for lower hands, but hitting the progressive was the right way to start a vacation!
